Although very busy at the time we were able to have a nice table in the back. The restaurant has a lot of tables, many on the back. Although the front, with the bar is more lively and viewable from Bridge St, the back is a very nice space. Our server was very funny, helpful, attentive, and quick! We had the truffle fries and they were very tasty! We both had pizzas and each was also very tasty! We had more than enough to eat and each took some pizza home. We highly recommend this restaurant!

Great 👍👍 We called ahead and made same day reservations for our group. We were about 30 people. It really wasn't busy and seems like there would have been space for us earlier than our 8pm reservation however, I don't think there were enough servers. Food was really good. They were out of the cocktail, but did have one, called the sexy dolphin. It was so easy to pay with a QR code. There was some kind of service fee..it was maybe $3, and our bull was $100, so not a big deal. The basil cider was a hit with a few people. I would definitely recommend it. Parking was easy across the street. We walked to the river after.

I stopped in twice in the last week and sat at the bar both times. The bartenders were exceptional! They made good beer recommendations based on my taste. I loved one of the beers I sampled, and ended up taking home a vintage bottle with me! As for the food, I loved The Perfect Fried Chicken Sandwich! The slaw and pickles are my favorite combination on a fried chicken sando, and they nailed it. The dill pickle spear on the side had a good crunch and a nice spicy kick, and the curry chips were also good. Update: The Pickle Pizza is also great!

Average food. Above average prices. Burger was dry. Fries were good, but not good enough for an extra charge. Not worth the price at all. Overall: 4.9/10

Food was absolutely delicious. Truffle fries were good, pork pie and the pickle pizza were great. I swear the pickles have to be house made. Only thing that upsets me is I wasn't told there is no free refills on the soda. 2.50 a glass that was half ice & the size of a dollar bill. They also charge a fee for using a card This stuff should be on the menu. Also I asked if they had Dr. Pepper and the response was.. umm I think we carry coke products. 😂 No sweet tea either.

Halloween at Jolly Pumpkin🎃 They had a specialty menu for Halloween. They had a blackened “dead sticks”, the crust has charcoal powder in it. We got the “truffle” and the “fire and smoke” pizzas. Both were so tasty. Our absolute favorite pizzas are the “south pacific” and the “pickle” pizzas. For Halloween they had a vegan ube flavored cheesecake. It was very enjoyable and had an excellent texture. One piece of advice: I really wish they’d had something going on for Halloween that wasn’t food based. I was surprised how quiet it was at the time. We called in advance and was so excited to come by after being greeted by a lovely person on the phone being so fun and lively. I figured if anywhere was going play up the spooky theme, it’d be JP. We loved the food but was hoping for a bit more engagement for the holiday

Good food and great service. Love the communal seating and ordering everything at the bar. Appears to have a great beer selection. Korean style wings were good. As was the chicken sandwich and whitefish/crab sandwich. The whole Bridge Street corridor is looking awesome!!!

Good location, nice setup. Plenty of seating and nice L-shaped bar. Staff allows and patrons use the side (emergency exit) door by the bar and the cold air rushes over everyone sitting at the bar and close tables. The management and staff should be more clear and firm about that door, we know most people only think about themselves. Beers and sours offerings are extensive and very good. North Peak beers are outstanding in my opinion. I had the fried chicken sandwich, and this was very good (nicely spiced) but the chicken was about a third smaller than the bun. Curry chips were tasty. There were many other offerings that I will be back to try.

I first tried out Jolly Pumpkin at their location in Ann Arbor, so I was so eager to try out their location here in GR. The food here is of consistently good quality and and consists of big portions to satisfy! Everything on their menu always looks enticing, however I can rarely stray from my two favorites - the fried chicken sandwich and the mushroom pizza. *chef's kiss*

Trying to decide between here and the place across the street? Here... you want to be HERE. Stop #14 on our Hundreds of Hops self-guided Hops Passport Brewey Tour We walked up to a relatively empty, room & thought, "uh-oh", too late... we were spotted by a friendly, one might even say jolly (bam), host and seated. It filled up quickly, as a side note. In the meantime, we had plenty of attention from staff & I was delighted to discover we had hit the jackpot on true sours, not tart, not sweet & tangy, SOUR. About this point, I'm feeling pretty good. We weren't planning to eat here as we're pretty pizzad-out. On the server's recommendation, we opted for a mix of wings & pork belly (scrumptious) & the delightful soup. Great beer, great food, great service. No regrets - excellent stop

We came in on a Friday for lunch around 12:30PM and we were the first customers, it appeared. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. We were seated and taken care of for the duration of our meal by Malakai (sorry if that is not the correct spelling!) They were great - very attentive and friendly. We were given a complimentary bowl of homemade chips to start - so good, they had an Indian flare to them! We started with the asparagus nuggets and they were good. Bite sized asparagus pieces deep fried and served with an aioli and a sweet siracha sauce. Two of us had the grain bowl with salmon and they were delicious. Third guest had the mushroom pizza, and it was divine. I brought some of my grain bowl home, because it was such a hearty portion! Great leftovers! The chef also came around and asked how our food was and was very friendly and welcoming. More guests arrived while we were eating and I was happy to see more patrons. Their lunch was delicious and it was too slow for a Friday afternoon! So, highly recommend checking them out for lunch!

Beer and pizza are some of my favorite things. Tried the Pickle Pizza. It had roasted garlic cream sauce, house-made pickle chips, dill sauce, mozzarella, and parmesan. It was truly something different but I thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband really enjoyed his Turkey and Gouda sandwich with turkey breast, smoked Gouda, tomato, arugula, dried cranberry mayo, and grilled sourdough. Our kid ate free because it was Sunday ... another win! The beer was ice cold and tasty. Service was fast and friendly. Overall, a great brewery experience. We will definitely come back again.

Been wanting to stop in and check this place out for a while. Food was really good! Loved the pizza! The menu doesn't say it but you can create your own or make changes to their specialty pizzas. Wings were cooked well and service was great! Didn't try any of the beers yet, but the pizza will definitely bring me back to try some drinks! Definitely recommend!

The truffled fries are good. The cone is bigger than it appears in pictures. The pizza which I can't remember the name of with veggies and balsamic vinegar was only okay; not very flavorful. I like that they have outdoor seating available, however, you don't get the most peaceful ambience outside with loud motorcycles passing through Bridge street on a Saturday night. Service was okay. Not attentive that night. Overall: alright place for drinks and a bite.

I hadn't been to Jolly Pumpkin in years but a large group of friends gathered there recently on a Friday evening. We were able to get a big table in the back for the 12 of us which was great. Our server was attentive at first but then seemed to get busy later on through our meal, so a manager was coming around to help with water refills, etc. Service overall was just fine. The majority of our group ordered pizza, with the truffled mushroom being the favorite. I loved the different types of cheese - fresh mozzarella and a super creamy, subtle goat cheese. I noticed a couple of the other truffled mushroom pizzas at the table had parmesan shavings on the arugula, but ours didn't. No big deal - the pizza was delicious as is. The crust was thick enough to hold up to the toppings but not super thick. I liked that the sauce wasn't overly sweet. And I love any pizza that has arugula on top! Nate and I devoured the whole pizza, and I'd definitely order it again. We had a few bites of the vegan nachos, which were ok - they could have had more toppings or at least more evenly distributed toppings. Our friends were able to get a vegan pizza special as well as the fries with a vegan aioli, so it's nice to see more vegan offerings here. We also got a side of the curry potato chips to share - they were a crowd pleaser! I had a cocktail with mint and rum that was refreshing and not too sweet. I like that they have a handful of cocktails for those who don't want beer. Their beers tend towards the sour end of the spectrum but our server was happy to help recommend some beers for our group. I'm combining my review with my previous visit to Jolly Pumpkin - Nate and I were on Bridge street and put our name on the waitlist. Unfortunately they never texted us, so we had to go elsewhere. Luckily there are plenty of options in the area, but it was a bit of a bummer. This last visit made up for that mix-up though. It's not my favorite brewery in town, but it's a nice option.

Stopped in on a Sunday night for a quick dinner and to try their beers. The environment was casual and service was fast and friendly. The Jolly Pumpkin bees are all sours. That's not normally what I go for, but the beers I tried exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend giving it a shot! If you really hate sours, they offer other beers from their sister brewery along with a cider. So, plenty of options. We tried a Caesar salad and some pizzas- all of which was excellent. I enjoyed the South Pacific but I'd probably stick with something more standard next time. I especially liked that they were open on Sunday which seems to be a rarity in this area. Thank you for a great meal!

Came back here for lunch today, and they just never miss. Definitely consistently great quality of drinks, food, and service! It was pretty quiet inside for most of our time there, picked up a bit as we were halfway through when a large bachelorette party came in. We ended up switching tables so they had some more room around their party, and the manager was super nice and discounted our fries which was generous! Normally the vibe of the place on a Saturday afternoon around 1-2 is pretty chill, I would definitely recommend going around this time. For drinks we got the Ginger Me Timbers and the Cinnamon Cider, both were excellent! As for food, we shared some of the Truffled Fries, always a hit. And for mains, I got the Pickle Pizza, and my boyfriend got the JP Burger. Everything was excellent! The pickle pizza was a tad too saucy in my opinion, I prefer the one across the street at New Holland a bit more, but still excellent! We will of course be back again!

I don't know why it took so long but this was our first stop in (at this location). We happened to go on Tuesday before a concert downtown and we hit the jackpot. The venue itself is huge and neat and orderly: so I'd say you can probably get a table on most nights. They have $2 special for pretty much every beer on their menu on Tuesday! I was shocked, never heard of such great deals since college days and that was on the cheap domestic crap and not quality crafted beers like they offer. So needless to say we enjoyed a plethora of drinks. Service was fast throughout, we got our food very quick and the quality was not compromised in the least. We got the nachos to split for the table and then the margarita and pickle pizzas and that was a C perfect amount of food for the 4 of us! Everything had amazing flavor and taste in every bit... The nachos had pickles onions on them that gave them a unique but satisfying flavor for not having true salsa on them. The pickle pizza might have been my favorite ever; definitely in the top 3. I would highly recommend visiting and if you can plan it on a Tuesday you get some great deals

We are from out of town and found this place. Service was great. Waitress had us sample a few beers to make sure we like them. We split the pacific pizza and it was delicious. Crust thin and crispy but not burndt. Kids both devoured their meals! Cost reasonable for a family of 4 clean and cute ambiance.

We had noticed this pizzeria and brewery while in Detroit before but did not visit that location so made it a point to stop in to the Grand Rapids location on our way out of town. Plus, I knew they had sours! I was pleasantly surprised to see that they also had their sister brewery North Peak on tap but really excited to see that North Peak had Hail. A beer created/named for the Michigan Wolverines! That is my team so, of course, I had to try it!!! From Jolly Pumpkin's line up we got a flight with Cerveza Cereza 4 Dayza, Baudelaire Beer iO Saison, All the Trees, Calabaza Blanca, Lo-Fi Mai Tai, and Tin Foil Hat.

We just finished our meal here and it was delicious! We sat outside on this beautiful summer evening, sipping wine and beer. We ordered the truffled fries for an appetizer and they were amazing...crunchy fries and delicious aioli sauce. For our entrées, I had the truffle mushroom pizza--I love mushrooms--and it was outstanding! Perfect blend of flavors and a nice thin, crispy crust. My husband had the JP Burger and couldn't stop raving about it while he ate it. Jake was our waiter and he was knowledgeable and friendly, and made us want to return again. He answered all of our questions and had that perfect balance of not hovering, yet being there right when you needed him. We will definitely be back!

Stopped in for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon and we were surprised we were the only ones in there. That made us a bit nervous as it was our first visit. All told, the service was good, they were very friendly and great to our kids! The bar and restaurant has a really cool vibe to it as well. Generally very clean and nice. Everyone enjoyed their food. My son got a burger he really liked and the rest of us ordered pizza. My wife and I tried two different lighter beers and the server was very helpful in our selections.

SERVICE: 5 FOOD QUALITY: 5 DRINK QUALITY: 5 ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 5 NOISE LEVEL: 5 MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 5 Went here for lunch because of the amazing reviews. I can see why this place has been chosen for display on tv shows like the carbonaro effect and others. It's a large space with a lot of loyal customers who love the beer and love the food. I ordered the perfect chicken sandwich which was definitely perfect. This sandwich was recently in the Grand Rapids Revue as one of the best chicken sandwiches in Grand Rapids and I 100% agree with this. The slaw on this burger really brings together flavors of perfection. I look forward to trying their pizza in the future. A The beer is also amazing. They are known for their sours. Their menu selection is unique and the two beers I had did not disappoint. My favorite was the Cowconut which wasn't a sour but it was absolutely delicious. This is gonna become a regular hot spot for me because I'm on a mission to try everything they got. Overall, I couldn't find one thing to negatively critique. This place is a solid 5 stars, and a treasure for the Grand Rapids community. Thank you for providing top quality pizza during this unfortunate corona outbreak. Got margarita pizza and a South Pacific pizza and a ale absurd growler and a la roja growler. It's so good even if it's to go. Can't wait till we can sit at the bar again. See you all soon.

My sister and I took my two young kids there last night for a quick dinner after ice skating. Unfortunately, we deduced we both got food poisoning from the Brussels app as it was the only thing she ate and that I tried some of. Both of us have been bedridden and living off the toilet since last night. Unsure if it was a bad batch of veggies or an ingredient gone bad but please be aware so other customers don't experience the same! Our server was great btw and other food was okay but that experience left us regretting going there!

We started the brewsators Beer trail. Download the app called Brewsaders and on your way you go. Wife and I hit 6 of them last night. 2 more and we get our Brewsader shirts.

We ordered a pizza because we were hungry. We had a bad pizza earlier In the day and this one came. It looked gorgeous! Then it tasted delicious, crunchy crust and piping hot toppings. Looks and tasted delicious! This place has alot of sour beers. I tried them and they are delicious but for a pint went with a lager. Delicious! Great service, great food, great beer- regular and sour, and great artwork. Large place to accommodate big groups and kids.

Oh.my.tastebuds. I have been dying to try this place and finally grabbed a friend to come with - well worth the wait. Happy hour Monday through Friday got us $2 off our beers & $2 off our pizzas. I love a good Margherita pizza, but the Truffle Mushroom was calling my name like nobody's business. A 12in pie gets you 6 slices, with a perfectly crunchy crust (I wouldn't classify it as a "thin crust" but it's definitely not a thick crust). The flavor this pie had was AMAZING. Because it's an olive oil based sauce + the sauce they put on the giant arugula garnish (more like salad), it was a little greasy, but not in the way where you feel the need to presoak with a napkin (you all know what I'm talking about). It didn't leave my hands greasy either. Goat cheese, mushrooms, and truffles = yum! For dessert my friend and I split the dark chocolate cheesecake. The cheesecake itself was a more crumbly consistency, we'd fork it and it'd fall apart on us. BUT the crust was sooooo good. The cheesecake itself was creamy. Definitely a win. Most of the beers listed are sours. I am not big on the sours, and found a coffee-beer (branched out from my usual "dark beer"). It paired really well with the pizza AND cheesecake. Definitely check this place out! (Our server was really wonderful and friendly, which is always a bonus!)

I've been to the Jolly Pumpkin a couple of times now and each time have really enjoyed it! As far as drinks go, they have very crafty and unique cocktail options that are always fun to try. They also have a wide selection of beers and offer flights. My issue with their specialty cocktails is that they change quite often, which is great if you like to constantly experience new flavors, but sometimes I'd like to order my favorite from the previous visit which is no longer offered. Food is also delicious, though can be pricey (I recommend the fries or cheese bread if you're looking for a table appetizer to split). The atmosphere and staff are also very fun and friendly, but not too loud like many of the other places on bridge street. Overall, delicious food and drinks and a great place if you're looking for a chill vibe to chat with friends.

I stopped in at the Jolly Pumpkin on my way down from Traverse City. Its in the midst of several other gastro pubs in a hipster part of Grand Rapids' west side. You place your order at the counter and they bring it out to you. This goes for beers too of which they have about 30 on tap (all craft brews). I found a nice Oktoberfest which was lovely. On to the food...I ordered the truffled mushroom pizza that was topped with olive-oil soaked arugula. That was a fantastic pie. Really savory herbs in that creamy mushroom sauce on top of a nice thin crust. I'd definitely get that again. I also ordered the Korean wings which were soooo close to being awesome. They were huge and deep fried perfectly...they got that skin nice and crispy. But I really wanted that flavor to be bold and spicy...and it was just not quite there. Needed a few more notches on the scoville heat scale. But they definitely filled me up. All in all, this is a solid place worthy of the foodie neighborhood its in. I'd go again.

Yum! Omg their pizza is out of this world good! The setup of this restaurant is super casual in a sense that you order at the counter and then bring you your food to the table (think Panera). But if you sit at the bar, you get full service. So that's where we sat! They have tons of different beers, something for everyone. We got the Truffle Mushroom pizza and the Smoke and Fire pizza, because it was happy hour, and they were $2 off. We thought we'd rather try 2 kinds and share. The pizza was amazing - seriously, so good. The crust was super thin and crunchy. The service was good, and it seemed everyone in the place was having a good time and overall happy. We will definitely be going back!

This is a huge space with lots of long cafeteria-like tables to encourage mingling. They have a lot of sour beers, cocktails, pizza, and truffle fries to offer, and we were excited to give it a try. Their pizzas.... average. We liked them, but they weren't really anything to write home about. They were pretty huge, decent flavors, crispier crusts. We tried the mushroom and the cheese. $15 Beers... if sours aren't your thing you might not be too impressed with the lineup, but most people enjoyed their selections. $6-10 Order the truffle fries! They were amazing! $6 Ordering & Seating... we were disappointed with the "sit wherever" feel, especially with how busy it gets at dinner time... lots of groups were standing around sipping beer with no place to set it. You have to order up at the counter and also have someone save your spot at a table. It's a bit obnoxious! For the atmosphere I'd definitely go back for some fries and a cocktail... just maybe not during rush hours.

i love the vibe of jolly pumpkin! i have had two really tasty meals when here, a harvest bowl and a turkey gouda sandwich. i would eat them both again and recommend them! my most recent server recommended the turkey gouda and i was not disappointed. i tried a pumpkin ale which i must say it was missing the pumpkin taste. i would recommend this brewery if you like sour beers!

A solid addition to the Bridge Street lineup. I'm writing this review for the vegans out there: the Bridge Street Vegan pizza is great. It's not your typical pizza, so if you're looking for faux meats and cheese, this isn't it (go to Mitten Brewing for that). However, it's fantastic in its own right. Topped with hummus, roasted veggies, pesto, and kale chips, it's not like anything I've had before, and I like it for that reason. The cone of truffled fries is huge and a solid way to start your meal. Fruity drink fans: I had two hibiscus mojitos and they were dangerously delicious. Fiancé got the Havoc beer and the Margherita pizza. Warning: wouldn't recommend the cheesecake w/ the Mexican chocolate. The kick was bit much and didn't really work for us. Other than that, we both left happy and full!

I really wanted to give these guys 5 stars but we left somewhat disappointed. We have heard great things about their other locations and were excited to have them open shop in Grand Rapids. The building and location are great and the dining area is large. The concept is similar to other brewpubs across the country but it's a new concept for Grand Rapids. Order at the counter/bar, find a table, wait for your food. The beer list is impressive but we weren't drinking on this early dinner visit. The truffled mushroom pizza was below average for a few reasons. The crust seemed undercooked and I'd prefer it to be crispier. It was very greasy which made the pie soggy. My wife had the Korean wings and she felt they were average at best. They are large with tons of meat, which is great. For being Korean Wings, the sauce was lacking flavor. The pickled cauliflower was not appetizing either because it just tasted like straight vinegar. The truffle fries were tasty but seemed expensive for how much you receive. They seemed to be a little over seasoned though. Overall, I'm bummed we didn't love this place. There are just too many breweries and pizza places in Grand Rapids to be less than average!

The service was outstanding, the food was outstandingly flavorful and I will definitely be back many more times after today. Loved the chicken pizza and chicken nachos. Went here again and the chicken sandwich and truffle fries were to die for. The flavor was unreal and the portion size was perfect. Pizza is still the best on the menu though.

Sydney H.

Yelp
The truffled mushroom pizza was delicious, but the perfect chicken sandwich was unfortunately far from perfect. Jolly Pumpkin brews sours, so it's something to note if you're not a huge sour fan. There are other options, but they are quite limited in comparison. Overall good ambiance and service. I would go back to try some other food items!

Audrey B.

Yelp
Service was super slow. Took quite sometime after being seated to see our waitress...we are aware that many restaurants are still short staff, so keeping that in mind, this is still a fair statement. The cocktail menu was small. And if you are paying $17 for a mediocre burger, it should come with fries. Ultimately did not live up to our non-expectations. I say non-expectations as we were intending on eating at another restaurant...but it had a wait time of 3 hours. The fact that we could walk in on a Friday night to the Jolly Pumpkin and be seated immediately should have been our first red flag

Stopped in quick yesterday for a beer while waiting for a table down the street. Staff issued a warm welcome, and we sidled up to the bar. This place is known for their selection of *sour* beers, but the good news (for me, anyway) is that they also carry a few not-so-sours. Try their original cocktail recipes, too! Prices are on par for the GR brewpub scene, the interior is clean and well lit, and our bartender was friendly. All I had was a beer this visit, so I'll have to return another day to try their food menu. The GR beer scene is busting at the seams, and that means plenty for everybody! If you're already in the neighborhood, stop by Jolly Pumpkin and "drink Michigan"--they'll hold their own.

Come for $2 drafts on Tuesdays! We come here for drinks and dinner, or just drinks to kill time. Usually there's not a wait because they have a lot of tables and a long bar. Cool hip environment.

The food is so rich that it's difficult to eat. If you want to have as much oil and butter as you do 'food' then maybe you'd like this. None of the 8 people in my group finished their meal, and not because it was 'bad' but because it was just too 'heavy'.

while I really enjoyed the food, the service completely ruined the experience for me. My group, and I got there and sat down with our drinks for about an hour as she kept walking past our table and ignoring us, before we had to flag down our waitress to ask to order. her behavior was very strange and we definitely believe she was drunk as we saw her take a shot. we waited for our food for about another 40 minutes, there was only two other tables, so it's not like it was really busy. When she did bring us our food, she got our order wrong, and when we told her it was wrong, she just looked at us like we were stupid, handed us the food and walked away so we just had to eat the food. We didn't order. The entire time she did not give us any refills and did not check up on our table. in the end, she also messed up our bills. Will not be going back ever.

Awesome brewery on the west side! They have tons of sour beers so if you are into sour beers go for that, but be prepared to pay for it! Beers are about $7 a piece here if not more but once again if you're into sour beers it's probably worth it! Would definitely recommend Jolly Pumpkin over New Holland any day of the week! The South Pacific pizza is the way to go along with the Asian Wings. They are AMAZING especially if you like things that are a little spicy! There is a little salad you can also try that I would recommend that's the farro and Brussels salad which is delicious and very large portions even for the small! You should add chicken to it to really round it out. My favorite beer is the Siren which is a red/Amber and it's delicious! It has awesome atmosphere and great place to grab a beer! I will for sure be going back here!

I wish I could give a negative review. The lady at the bar was EXTREMELY rude. We placed an order for food and waited 30 minutes. I'm not upset with the wait. I'm upset that when the food arrived it wasn't what we ordered. We ordered wings and fries and an OG burger. Two totally different meals. When placed in front of us and I explained that's not what we ordered, the lady told use to eat the food in front of us. WOW. I refused and asked for the food we ordered. She then told me that she was busy and didn't hear my original order. When I tried to ask for my order she told me, a paying customer, that she didn't want to hear what I was saying and she walked off. The bar manager John came over and stated that he couldn't explain why she said what she said to us. He was very understanding. I don't understand how an employee serving people can be so RUDE. Thank you John for providing service. For the lady, I wish her well. Maybe she needs to be in another industry. Correction, the gentleman's name is Kyle not John and I forgot to mention that the lady told us that we could take the incorrect food items to go.

Not good. Ordered delivery to our hotel while visiting GR. Great reviews, unfortunately our experience was different. Pizza tasted like a microwaved digiorno's. Chewy. Got the pepperoni and one mushroom truffle. Mushroom was slightly better, still nothing I would suggest. Best part about the meal were the chicken wings. They were solid
